Link for @Ernst79

[Ernst79]

Note for myself:

1bff570102ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff03c5093f890b4b

Can be split up in

1b = length ff = manufacturer specific data 5701 = manufacturer ID 02ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff03 = the data c5093f890b4b = MAC

Following the link from @adrewjswan I think it requires a connection to communicate, which is not supported by BLE monitor. But we can give it another try, by making a longer log, and trying to vary the mearements, to see what changes in the BLE advertisements. They now are all the same messages.

[andrewjswan]

Steps not require connect, only battery and battery states need connect, like MiFlora...

[Roofcatbusy]

I'll dump new data, my original dump was made while band was charging off the hand on the desk

[Roofcatbusy]

I've made another dump of data from Xiaomi Miband 6 this time I've moved around (so RSSI should be different) and number of steps indicated grows from 30+ to 49 (yes it was just after midnight localtime) File with data attached. xiaomi.log

[Ernst79]

I've checked your log, I see only two different data packets.

02ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff02 02ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff03

This doesn't look like the number of steps. I also checked the link by @andrewjswan and I see that they use service_uuid: 'FEE0' This is not what in your messages, which have a manufacturer ID (5701).

After some googling it looks like that Miband 6 does not show any data before pairing if it is already paired with the app (which is my case, of course). But I've digged out older miband 5 which is said to broadcast some useful info. I am charging it now and hope to dump some packets during weekend. Also the question - is it possible to use unknown device (miband 6 in my case) as tracker. I added its MAC manually and tick "tracker" checkbox on device page but nothing happened. Regards

[Ernst79]

Also the question - is it possible to use unknown device (miband 6 in my case) as tracker. I added its MAC manually and tick "tracker" checkbox on device page but nothing happened.

It should work like that. No idea why it isn't working in your case. Is should show "home" when it receives a BLE advertisement and move back to "away" after the set time.

[Roofcatbusy]

It should work like that.

Mea culpa, in fact it is working, I've been probably in a hurry in the morning. Thanks

[DigiH]

Hi guys, just stumbled accross your thread here, and since I've been doing work on the Mi Band Decoder for OpenMQTTGateway/Theengs Gateway the above manufacturerdata looks familiar to me ;)

1bff570102**ff**ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff03c5093f890b4b

This hex byte lets you monitor the activity heart when doing workouts with the Mi Band if this option is allowed in the Mi Band Zepp Life preferences - the current ff showing no workout is currently ongoing . Similarly the steps count is shown in the broadcast servicedata, which I don't see in your conversation here, or could it be the 01120000 part above? Which would be 4609 steps?!?

Tested with Mi Band 4/5, but from the data above it looks as if this could still be valid for Mi Band 6.

Hope this helps.

Hello< I've managed to dump all night long of packets from Miband 4, and, unfortunately, most of them looks pretty the same. Follows stats of this night log (first number is numиer of such packets received, then space then packet content). Strange, but looks like indeed passively we cannot get number of steps or anything, and only using the service mentioned bove allows to get the info :( Anyway here goes the processed stats of log

[DigiH]

but looks like indeed passively we cannot get number of steps or anything

Mi Band 4 and 5 do passively broadcast the steps and activity heart rate ONLY IF the relevant preferences have been activated for the particular Mi Band in the Zepp Life app

Are these activated for your Mi Bands?

Might help for testing/validating with HA

https://github.com/mihsu81/addon-theengsgw

[Ernst79]

@Roofcatbusy can you make a new log with these two settings turned on, like described in the post of @DigiH ?

Mi band 5

2022-10-03 15:07:26.822 INFO (Thread-2) [custom_components.ble_monitor.ble_parser] BLE advertisement received from MAC/UUID e2f1d00xxxx service data: []manufacturer specific data: [b'\x1b\xffW\x01\x02\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\x02\xe2\xf1\xd0\x07JS']local name: UUID16: None,UUID128: None

[Ernst79]

I had a second look at theengs decoder implementation of @DigiH for the MiBand,

   "condition":["manufacturerdata", "=", 52, "index", 0, "5701", "&", "manufacturerdata", "mac@index", 40],
   "properties":{
      "steps":{
         "condition":["servicedata", "=", 8],
         "decoder":["value_from_hex_data", "servicedata", 0, 4, true, false]
      },
      "act_bpm":{
         "condition":["manufacturerdata", 10, "!", "f"],
         "decoder":["value_from_hex_data", "manufacturerdata", 10, 2, false, false]
      }

What is can see is that he gets the heart rate from the manufacturer specific data, but he gets the number of steps from the service data. Strangely I don't see any service data in your messages. Service data starts with 0x16.

@DigiH Can you explain which byte or bytes contains the heart rate in the following message? Nevermind, you already showed it in an earlier post. its at hr

043e390d01130000595b93827ec90100ff7fd00000000000000000001f0201061bff570102ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff03c97e82935b59

[DigiH]

Hi @Ernst79 @Wolvverine

the thing to note is that only the steps from the servicedata requires active scanning while the activity heart rate from the manufacturerdata is also available with passive scanning only - so that might be the reason for the missing servicedata.

[Ernst79]

Ah, that might explain it. Can someone try to get some logs with active scan turned on?

PR https://github.com/custom-components/ble_monitor/pull/1117 for the heart rate sensors is ready, sorry it took so long, totally forgot about this issue.

[myhomeiot]

@Ernst79 Hello, here the BLE advertisement packets (from ESPHome) with heart rate and steps data (I mark data with ), steps use 4 bytes, here how I calculate it. I think PR #1117 has mistake, you should use 4th byte of 0x5701 as heart rate ```570102020154***```, I test it with Mi Band 4 and other peoples report that it's working for few different models.

Thanks in advance.

@myhomeiot Thanks for this info.

I've updated the code, 11.7.0 should have heart rate and steps now.

[myhomeiot]

@Ernst79 Should we add steps here?

[Ernst79]

You are right. Fixed in 11.7.1

[glebsterx]

Hello, will this all work with Mi Band 7? And it seems to me that the presence sensor is still not a diagnostic, but one of the main sensors..

[p1ne]

Are there any differences for CN/Global/regional versions of MiBand 6? I've put active scan on, both publishing options in Zepp Life app, but still having Unknown value for steps and heart rate. Any other important settings?

[Ernst79]

For presence, you can enable track device in the setting. I dont know if MiBand 7 is working, most likely not.

@p1ne try to enable debug logging for the mac address of your MiBand, such that we can check what is wrong.

I have the same issue with Mi Band 6 (active scan enabled, publishing options in Zepp Life enabled)

[glebsterx]

@p1ne try to enable debug logging for the mac address of your MiBand, such that we can check what is wrong.

Presence of course enabled. But it is at diagnostic sensors group. I think presence is one of main sensors of Mi Band wristbands. =) I ordered a Mi Band 7 for myself (and for my wife =) ) - the package will arrive this week. I'm willing to provide any debug data I can to add support for these wristbands.

[Ernst79]

Please check the New sensor request page on github for a how to get the data. Post the data in a new topic and i will have a look.

Ill also check the presence sensor. But it can take a few weeks, due to personal circumstances

[glebsterx]

@Ernst79 Thanks a lot!

[cypherbits]

Please update documentation. It still says only Mi Band 4 and 5 are compatible.
